New ThermaBlend® Test Cooker

Mepaco has a
new test cooker for processors who have new products or recipes that require cooking and
blending. The test cooker is a 75-gallon ThermaBlend®
unit with steam injection, vacuum, pneumatic covers and doors, and dual ribbon agitators.

The ThermaBlend® is designed specifically for large scale batch
operations. All of the components from the tub to the agitators are custom designed to meet
the needs of the blending application. It is designed with wrap-around steam jacket,
fabricated by ASME certified welders, which offers massive heat transfer efficiencies.

  • Quick
    homogeneous blending while minimizing
    shear.
  • A durable,
    bi-directional scraper system keeps the heat exchange surface clean, minimizing burn-on
    while optimizing heat
    transfer.
  • The massive
    heat transfer area, highly efficient agitators and patent pending scraper system
    dramatically reduce process time over conventional batch
    cookers.
  • Vacuum cooking
    to further reduce process
    time.
